Man, is itÂ ever beautiful in Calgary right now.Â I swear that Calgary is the best place on earthÂ to trainÂ during the summer.Â It is so dry, warm, and at altitude,…so perfect.Â I wish it could be like this all year round.

I had a couple days off training this weekend.Â It was tough to keep my bike idle today,…a bike toÂ Kananaskis country would have been heavenly.Â ButÂ one mustÂ keep everything in perspective, rest is extremely important, and so too is a well thought out, slow build upÂ to heavy training.Â Impatience has been known to burnout athletes, and I mustn’t be one of them.
